Where we come from
Thais from the Northeast region of Thailand, known as Isan (or Esan), consider themselves Lao, and historically, this part of Thailand and Laos share very close connections. This rich heritage is reflected in their music, dress, and, of course, their food. Blending her culinary instincts with recipes from the streets of Laos, Owner and Executive Chef Soutthiphayphone Thinavongsa has crafted a menu that offers the finest authentic Lao and Thai dishes outside of the Far East.
At The Green Papaya, we are dedicated to preserving and celebrating these cultural and culinary traditions. Chef Thinavongsa's expertise and passion for Lao and Thai cuisine ensure that each dish is prepared with the utmost care and authenticity. Our menu is a tribute to the vibrant flavors and unique culinary heritage of the Isan region and beyond, providing our guests with an unparalleled dining experience.
Our expertise
The Green Papaya offers over 75 dishes, many with a choice of meat or a vegetarian option and various levels of spice to cater to the diverse tastes of the American palate while maintaining authenticity. We use only the freshest ingredients and high-quality vegetable oil to ensure every meal is delicious and wholesome.
Our service is always efficient, accompanied by the smiles and hospitality Thailand is known for, creating a warm and welcoming dining experience. Despite the exceptional quality, our prices remain surprisingly affordable.
As a family-owned and operated restaurant, we take pride in providing a personalized dining experience. This is not buffet-style Chinese cuisine; all dishes are made to order and served "piping hot," ensuring the best flavor and freshness. Come and enjoy the unique culinary delights at The Green Papaya, where tradition meets taste.
